Supporting evidence

The budget of the Supporting People programme is being slashed
by £85m in 2005/06. This is leading to funding for supported housing
projects being withdrawn. Expensive projects offering high support
are being targeted. Tenants will be moved into independent housing
with floating support. However, there are fears that vulnerable
people needing high levels of support and supervision will be unable
to cope.
